Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Design your dream wedding at this exclusive private estate just off Baton Rouge's iconic Highland Avenue, where New Orleans-style courtyards and manicured gardens are shaded by moss-draped oaks, and a landmark 1790 French farmhouse joins refreshingly contemporary gathering spaces to provide endless options for a one-of-a-kind experience.
- The serene grounds provide endless lovely backdrops for al fresco soirees, whether you say "I do" on plush green lawns, beside graceful water features, or before a charming gazebo. The main reception hall is modern farmhouse-chic, with soaring ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and a stunning balcony and sweeping staircase perfect for a grand entrance.
- Every detail is looked after, thanks to bespoke planning and coordination services, delicious in-house cuisine and craft cocktails, and carefully curated design flourishes throughout. Their team welcomes each couple like old friends, bringing care, hospitality, and a deep love for the property to every celebration.
